Best to buy the "kit" and make sure it has everything ... probably a cheaper.
If you do buy separate, the leaf springs don't come with bushings, so you need to buy that separate. You might want to consider buying 4 front springs as the fronts are a higher rate than the rear to allow for the engine weight. I keep the hardtop on and run a rear tire carrier on the bumper, so I wanted a stronger spring out back. Mark. |

It's always a good idea to replace the old ubolts. typically they will be stretched. I'm not real clear on why you listed CJ in the shackles? You'll also likely need to move the brake lines. I would go ahead and do it right the first time and get SS braided for the front. You may also need sway extentions if you're planning on using the sway... or get some disco's. I'd loose the tracs, IMHO.

The box kit includes the u-bolts. Cant rememeber if it includes the bushings. Anyway, just buy the kit as it is assembled by bds.
Get the MORE 5/8 booms. They will clear the military wrap springs. |

I agree the box kit should have everything, but of course ask just to make sure.

I wouldnt order off bds' website either. thier site should show you the closest bds dealer to you which will have a better price and you wont be paying shipping. I ordered just the springs from a bds dealer a few years back and payed about 75 a spring.

I bought the kit from the nearest BDS Dealer (Mother's in Rockaway, NJ).
Thank you all.
